Spring used to smell like
lemon juice and lavenders
Summer used to sound like
wind chimes and hummingbirds
Autumn used to feel like
your gentle, warm embrace
and winter used to taste like
vanilla ice cream cake
then time stopped flowing
now stuck at 3:15;
right when you stopped breathing
and I started this routine
Wake, wallow, wear…
I’d wilt into oblivion
fading in despair
awaiting our reunion
Please…anyone…save me
